Love, Marva (Class of 66) David and Carolyn Hunter We are sorry to hear of the loss of your father, and express our love and condolences to you. Dave had five bypass heart surgery yesterday (11/3) and I know he will be saddened that he will not be able to attend his good friend's services. Know that Dave and I thought the world of Wally. David and Carolyn Hunter Douglas and Aldene Poole [a.d.poole@gmail.com] Dear Dorothy and other family members: We just heard of the loss of your father and our special friend, Wallace Manning. He had such a great influence in our lives as he was the one that hired me to teach at Idaho Falls High School in 1967. He was not only a great educator but was always personally involved in helping individuals develop into better teachers and people. He was on the ground floor of the computer program of School District #91 that has had such a great impact on the education of thousands of students. He is now gone but will never be forgotten. We would have liked to have been to the funeral services but are serving a mission at the Church and Family History Mission in Salt Lake City. We send our love, Elder Douglas and Sister Aldene Poole 185 North West Temple, Apt. 109 Salt Lake City, UT 84103 (801) 521-0277 elder.sister.poole@gmail.com
